We appreciate black cats every day! Black Cat Appreciation Day was launched to help raise awareness about black cats in general and to show people they can be wonderful pets, just like any other cat. According to a recent study, black cats are about half as likely to be adopted as tabbies and two-thirds less likely than white cats. Why? Some people think they are spooky or bring back luck and some think they look boring.

Not convinced that black cats are awesome? Here are 10 Reasons to Adopt a Black Cat or Kitten this week (or any week)

“A day without seeing any books is a sad day for me,” says Emilie (@emiibook), a 21-year-old French student and bibliophile. After discovering her passion for reading just a few years ago in — where else? — a bookstore, Emilie was hooked. “What I love about books is that they transport you to another world,” says Emilie. “You can live an extraordinary experience all while laying on your couch. I am never the same after reading a book.”
Whenever she finishes a new tome, Emilie creates a photo inspired by the story, highlighting her favorite parts and using props like stamps, postcards, paint, plants and dolls. “I have a whole world in my head and I try to express it through my photos.” 📚
